COE plan/questions/advice

That marmon would be sweet. No way would I want the headache of trying to source parts though. Nah....no thanks.
The k100 aerodyne with 110 bunk would be nice. However, I would keep it reasonably short. Defeats the whole point if you stretch it. Might aswell just keep the conventional then. I would say somewhere around a 240" or so. long enough to be comfortable and have room behind the cab for hangover freight and headache rack. But still maintain a tight....ish turning radius. Then I would say skip the b model and go with a kta.

A very stout, kick ### cummins. Do a youtube search.

 

KTA was a Cummins motor mostly designed for industrial use the KTA 600 was something to be feared
They were used in tugboats too but you could get them in trucks .. they would make some serious HP back in the day.. there's some members on here that could tell you more details than I can .. I'am not a Cummins guy myself..

 

Them 2 stories don't do as much for me .. I like em flat on top .. and just why are we worried about room for over hang ..we all know that a cab over looks it's best dragging a S/S tanker or a bull wagon ... not some old clapped out skateboard with a termite infested deck ..... ( just jerk'n ya )....Lol

 

Remember these?

 

That looks just like a old Consolated Frieghtways Truck that got dipped in white paint in its 2nd life

 

International and freightliner manufactured High roof flat floor cabovers

not a lot , but they did make them and sell them in North America

adding length to the cab isn’t a huge problem. It’s doable .

neither is adding a high roof ,
If you find the perfect cabover that has a flat top roof

gonna be expensive if you pay a shop to do it though .
Would be alot easier to add a box behind the cab for the kitchen and bathroom
With a walk through seal .

 

Is it that much longer than a w900 with the 84” sleeper ?
